Currently to see formula code, you have to enter math mode. It would be useful 
however to see the code sooner -- even when the object is selected (focused).

I'm not sure about the component, 'Framework' or 'Formula Editor'.

Valid enhancement request.

Indeed it would be faster, but also an alternative way of focusing the object
must be proposed (right click focuses the object, but opens the context menu
too). I suggest ctrl+left click.

Plase change OS to All and Version to 2.4.0 :-)

Those issues are related, but independent.

Anyway, I proposed already other way of focusing formulas -- by simply moving 
the cursor (arrow-keys, pg-dn, etc), so user does not have to use mouse at 
all.
